Someone who is accustomed to having a huge part of their social life come from work can raise a red flag. We lean towards candidates who love to travel, value having a flexible lifestyle, or have worked remotely in the past.
Save Time. Live More. The Cheat Sheet is dedicated to providing audiences the information they want.
These types of candidates are often strong culture fits and successful at The Cheat Sheet. A heavy emphasis is placed on whether working remotely will be a good fit for a candidate. People tend to either love or hate working remotely and it is important that we make sure each candidate understands the benefits and challenges of our remote work environment before joining the company.
We strongly filter for candidates who are extremely self-motivated, thrive when working individually and are clear communicators via digital channels Slack, Email, Phone, etc.
We just initiated a new exciting program to incentivize our employees to get together socially. One of the best perks of working virtually is the ability to work from anywhere, and many of our team members love to travel. We have employees located all over the country, so in order to encourage them to get together when they travel, we reimburse a dinner, a concert, or activity- anything they want, as long as they send us a picture of their activity.
There is a lot of excitement around this initiative and we hope this will encourage everyone to get together socially and form bonds that make work more fun and collaborative. From a work perspective, we make frequent use of video chats on Skype or Google Hangouts which does feel more personal than an email or phone call. In addition, I will often meet my colleague who lives in the area at a coffee shop to work together.
We set clearly defined metrics for all of our team members every quarter. It takes extra effort to build a rapport with everyone. There are no incidental conversations that happen on the way to the break room in a virtual office. A strong culture is very important to us at The Cheat Sheet. We allow team members to use whichever device s they feel most comfortable working with. The Cheat Sheet does allocate company computers to our employees as needed as well. We have a flexible time off policy which provides employees with a generous amount of vacation, allowing them to take off whichever holidays they want.
From the very beginning, our founders Damien and Derek Hoffman knew that we would be a completely virtual company.
The fact is that there are extremely talented employees living all over the country and we want to recruit the absolute best. ColdFusion Cheat Sheet [html] petefreitag. CSS in one page [html] css.
